While I agree with this, I have to say from the looks of what happened and what has been happening, that neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are innocent of supporting the rich in cases where the poor really needed help.
Political party is irrelevant where corporate-made bribes are concerned...
That's why I say I'll never vote for a Republican or Democrat if I can avoid it.
I should explain myself slightly further before the flamebait gods attack.
I don't doubt that it is a good game. I played it for a while. I liked it. However, the popularity of this game most likely would not have reached this level this quickly if Blizzard's name was not on it. 1 million subscribers, sure. But 2 million within a year of release? I have my doubts.
My networking instructor had a very descriptive name for the default look of Windows XP (keep in mind the blue task bar and background image with the green hills).
The switch of television to digital has an advantage that is very much in the interests of the FCC. When television goes digital, not as many frequences have to be reserved for television. The freed up frequences can be reserved for other purposes or even remain unregulated for anybody to use.
The FIRST Lego League competition was actually the smaller of the two FIRST competitions that occured today. The larger is the FIRST Robotics Competition's championship.
FIRST Robotics was started in 1992 by Dean Kamen and involved 28 teams in a New Hampshire high school gym. Today there's nearly 1000 teams in 30 regionals and a championship event. It is a competition for high school students.
Early in January FIRST releases the rules for the new game and the kit of parts to all of the teams. Then teams of high school students have six weeks until the robot has to be in a crate headed for the competition site. Then the teams use their robotics in a rather challenging competition.
The robots aren't your typical mindstorms robots either. The provided control system is programmed in C. FIRST provides the the motors, robot controller, speed controllers, pnumatics, etc... and even some structural components. However, teams often use their own choice of structural and drive system components (except the motors), allowing for some very custom robot designs.
The robot's maximum size (at starting position) is 38 inches x 28 inches x 60 inches, so they can get quite big.
If you want to challenge high school students, and get them excited about engineering and technology, this is the way to go.
Sorry about that. Had a problem with my web browser.
Let's face it. The goal of any business is profit. We would not have business without it. And open source is not very profitable. Therefore, Microsoft will probably not go open source on anything.

But then Bush's stock portfolio wouldn't increase value as fast.
The President's Email:
"Hey man, nice golf game yesterday. See you on the green on Friday."
The Aide's Email:
"Hey we need to get this budget worked out for the president or congress might stop ignoring his daily routine. Here's the data the IRS sent us."
Now we know who really runs the country.
Keep in mind, tape backups are one of those areas where "you get what you pay for" definitely applies.

May the slashdot effect take it's toll.

Long answer: no

In EQ2, you don't have to get up to order a pizza. Just typing /pizza will hook you up with a Pizza Hut order form.
Sounds like a good idea to me.
